Former NFL tight end Greg Olsen’s son TJ experienced a touching moment with Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Prior to their game against the New York Jets, Rodgers and TJ chatted for a bit before posing for a picture. Although TJ’s father has played 14 seasons in the NFL with the Bears, Panthers, and Seahawks, he is still leaning towards Rodgers when it comes to favorites. Looking ecstatic at meeting the QB, TJ could not wipe the sincere smile off his face.

Explaining what this meant to his son, Greg Olsen said that Rodgers was kind enough to agree to the meeting after being informed of TJ’s request the night before. TJ, born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, has had three open heart surgeries. Last year, he underwent a successful heart transplant.

An underwhelming season for Aaron Rodgers thus far

Aaron Rodgers is having a less-than-impressive season. The quarterback has been under the microscope for a while now. Packers fans have seemingly lost patience. Currently, at 3-3, the Packers are down bad after two consecutive losses. After a humiliating loss to the New York Jets, Green Bay seems unsteady with their offense.

While many insist that Rodgers alongside seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady is on-track to retire, neither player has shown any inclination toward the same.

With a deteriorating performance and injuries, fans worry about the future of their quarterback and the team this season. With all the negative press the former MVP has been receiving, the recent adoration on Twitter caused by TJ Olsen is a welcome reprieve. Packers fans will hope for a comeback victory against the Washington Commanders this Sunday.
